In her new role, Roscino will focus on establishing and executing the Group Claims data and insight strategy, developing data science capabilities across regions and countries.

In this role, she was responsible for the analytics strategy, and she successfully further developed data science and analytics capabilities.
As part of ongoing efforts to streamline organisational structures and operations and realise synergies across the regions, Latin America and Asia Pacific regional claims teams became part of Group Claims earlier his year.
The Regional Chief Claims Officer Latin America is a new role focused on providing leadership to the country teams and supporting the delivery of business priorities including bringing the Zurich Brand Purpose to life for our customers.
